1. If the applicant is aggrieved by the decision of the local planning authority to refuse listed building consent for the proposed works, or to grant consent subject to conditions, he may appeal to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government in accordance with Section 20 (1) of the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 within 6 months of the date of this notice. Appeals must be made on a form which is obtainable from the Planning Inspectorate at Customer Support Unit, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6PN, telephone No. 0117 372 8000 or www.planning-inspectorate.gov.uk. The Secretary of State has power to allow a longer period for the giving of a notice of appeal, but he will not normally be prepared to use this power unless there are special circumstances which excuse the delay in giving notice of appeal.

2. Online Appeals The planning inspectorate have introduced an online appeals service which you can use to make your appeal online. You can find the service through the Appeals area of the Planning Portal – see www.planningportal.gov.uk/pcs.

Report:

1. Site and Surroundings

Gardeners Cottage is a Grade 2 listed building situated with Parwich’s designated Conservation Area on Kiln Lane. The external walls of the detached dwelling house are clad with coursed squared limestone with gritstone detailing. The roof is clad with plain clay tiles. There is an existing lean to extension with an end section which has a large proportion of glazing. This has a timber frame, finished in a recessive green colour and has slim lite double glazing.

2. History

1983 - Planning permission granted for extension to Gardeners Cottage.

1986 – Property listed

2010 – Planning permission and listed building consent granted for extension to dwelling to form storm porch

3. Proposal

The current application seeks listed building consent for the following internal works:

1. removal of internal staircase;
2. removal of two small sections of wall at first floor level;
3. insertion of stud wall at first floor level to create wardrobe space; and
4. insertion of new doors in the internal porch on the ground floor
5. Discussion

Removal of the internal staircase and associated works including the removal of wall sections and insertion of a stud wall on the first floor have already been carried out. The works are stated to be desirable and necessary to provide better access to the first floor and ease circulation around the first floor.

The submitted details indicate that the staircase that has been removed was of 20th century construction, one of the new openings was created by removal of an existing stud wall, and that the insertion of a new stud wall is essentially reversible. The submitted details also suggest a number of internal alterations were carried out prior to listing and it is not possible to ascertain precisely what might have been the original internal layout.

It is considered that the works that have been carried out do not fully meet the requirements of LCB. However, the works do not irreconcilably prejudice the special architectural or historical interest of the property which has been listed primarily because of the uniqueness of the squared coursed limestone walls. The works do not otherwise affect the setting of the listed building.

It is therefore considered that the internal works comply with the strategic intent of RSS policy 27 and PPS5 because the works do not harm the heritage asset insofar as the works would preserve what is significant about this building, and complies with LC6 insofar as the works do not harm the special qualities of the building.

The internal doors would otherwise be of an appropriate design in keeping with the general character and appearance of the listed building and would therefore not compromise its architectural or historic interest. The doors would also not affect the setting of the listed building. It is therefore considered that the proposed doors also comply with LC6, and the strategic intent of RSS policy 27 and PPS5.

Accordingly the current application for listed building consent is recommended for approval.

5. Consultation

Parwich Parish Council - Recommend approval.

Derbyshire County Council - No objections

PDNPA Historic Buildings Architect - No objections to the works for which consent is sought

6. Recommendation

The application be APPROVED subject to the following conditions or modifications:

- Statutory time limit
- In complete accordance with the submitted plans and specifications The agreement on application was that all the inappropriate and unauthorised internal doors would be tackled (see file). The fact that the owner does not wish to do all the doors is not a reason to relax on this. If all the doors are not included, I would encourage enforcement action on the remainder.

As for the hearths, it was agreed that these would be lowered to their proper height (flush with the flooring). I have spoken to Martin Small (DOOL Big Cottage) who confirms it isn't a question of the height of the hearth which is important, but the size in relation to the type, position and location of the stove. Therefore we are able to ask for the hearths to be lowered without falling foul of Big Cottage. If not being done as part of this application, the hearths will be another enforcement action.

HERITAGE STATEMENT

EPP reference: HS2-8215-CG-jb

22 October 2010 CONTENTS:

1. APPLICATION 1
2. CONTEXT 1
3. SUMMARY 5
4. APPLICATION

1.1 This heritage statement has been prepared to accompany an application for retrospective listed building consent on behalf of the applicant's Mr & Mrs A Purvis at the property known as Gardeners Cottage, Kiln Lane, Parwich.

1.2 This application for listed building consent is seeking regularisation of unauthorised internal modifications to the dwelling which have been carried out over the last two years.

1.3 This statement is supported by plans prepared by Mr Andrew Humphries in relation to the changes.

2. CONTEXT

Site Location

2.1 Gardeners Cottage is a Grade II listed building situated to the north of the village of Parwich and in close proximity to Parwich Hall. The property lies within the Parwich conservation area boundary.

2.2 The building is roughly L-shaped in plan form and is constructed in coursed limestone with sandstone dressings and plain clay tile roofs.

Planning History and Background to the Application

2.3 Planning application NP/WED/1183/464 for an extension to the dwelling was submitted and approved in November 1983. At the time this application was submitted the building was not a listed building.

2.4 Work began on this application during the spring of 1984. Indeed there is a note on the planning history file from Derbyshire Dales District Council Building Regulations Department, indicating that building work began on 1st May 1984.

2.5 On 1st April 1984 plans were submitted seeking amendments and these were subsequently approved.

2.6 A copy letter on the file dated 25th June 1984 to the owners from Peter Beamiss, advised the owners that as of 15th June 1984, the building became a Grade II listed building and as such any work after this date would require listed building consent. The letter also advised the applicants that they may want to pursue listed building consent to regularise the situation. The letter also advised that the scheme was not incompatible with the building. No further action was taken on this matter. 2.7 September 2010 – planning and listed building consent was granted for a single storey storm porch (ref: NP/DDD/0710/0689 and NP/DDD/0710/0691).

Opportunities and Constraints

2.8 The fact that Gardeners Cottage is a Grade II listed building clearly represents a constraint in terms of work which may be carried out to the building. Policy HE6, HE7 and HE8 of PPSS requires planning applications or modifications to heritage assets to be appropriately assessed with regards to the proposed modifications, clearly indicating exactly what has been proposed and how this affects the heritage assets in which it is to be located. In particular Policy HE6.1 deals with the requirements for a submission for development affecting heritage assets and states:

"the level of detail should be proportionate to the importance of the heritage asset and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal and the significance of the heritage asset".

2.9 The scheme now under consideration by the National Park Authority is seeking consent for internal modifications which have previously been carried out. The works also include new internal porch doors at ground floor level and new stud walls at first floor level.

Design Evolution

2.10 The internal layout of Gardeners Cottage has at some point in the past been modified prior to the building becoming listed. The precise details of the previous layout are not known as there is very little information available.

2.11 When entering the property through the front door on the south east elevation you would normally expect a staircase to be in front of you rising to the rear of the property. However in this case, the original staircase appears to have been removed and replaced with a modern staircase which rose in the opposite direction, i.e. rising at the back of lounge to the first floor at the front of the house. Whilst no longer in situ, this staircase was of 20th Century construction and the remains were viewed by Mr Sewell when carrying out a site visit in March 2010.

2.12 Unfortunately on studying the submitted plans for planning application NP/WED/1183/464 the full internal layout is not provided. As the property became listed shortly after this approval and no mention of the internal layout is made, it is assumed that this modification was made prior to the approved extension taking place. 2.13 The removal of this staircase has allowed a more logical layout of the building with single staircase access. By retaining the rear staircase easier access to the bedrooms can be achieved off the landing, although it has meant that one new doorway has been created through one of the original walls, the other was through the existing stud wall. New stud walls have been used to form the wardrobe and cupboard space. Again retrospective consent is being sought for these modifications.

2.14 As part of this application, listed building consent is sought for replacement secondary internal doors to the front door of the building. This proposal has been discussed in detail with John Sewell. The glazed subdivision of the existing doors are considered unsuitable for a grade II listed building and an amended design has been discussed and agreed with Mr Sewell as per the submitted drawing.

Policy Issues

2.15 The planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas Act 1990) provides specific protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest, and places a statutory duty on local planning authorities to have special regard to the desirability of preserving listed buildings, their settings or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess.

2.16 Planning Policy Statement 5 - Planning for the Historic Environment was published on 23rd March 2010. This document supersedes the former PPG 15 "Planning and the Historic Environment" and 16 "Archaeology and Planning".

2.17 This document takes a different form to the previous PPG15. The governments overarching aim is that the historic environment and its heritage assets should be considered and enjoyed for the quality of life they bring to this and future generations. To achieve this, the governments objectives for planning for the historic environment are:

- To deliver sustainable development with regards to heritage assets and that if the assets are to be maintained for the long term, suitable development may take many forms.
- To consider England's heritage assets in the manner appropriate to their significance.
- To contribute to our knowledge and understanding of our past by ensuring that opportunities are taken to capture evidence from the historic environment and make this publicly available, particularly where a heritage asset is to be lost. 2.18 This document then breaks down into a series of policies which address each further relevant section in greater detail. The document also aims to provide more precise details of what is expected as part of any application for modifications, alterations and demolition of listed buildings.

Proposed Alterations

2.19 As mentioned in para.2.7 above, this application is seeking retrospective consent for the removal of a previous modern staircase, the removal of two small sections of wall at first floor level along with the introduction of a new stud wall at first floor level to create wardrobes in the two front bedrooms. Permission is also being sought for the replacement of the existing internal porch doors at ground floor level.

2.20 During the site meeting in March 2010 various other matters were discussed with regards to alterations to the property. These included the design of other glazed internal doors, height of the hearths and size and number of roof lights on the property.

2.21 The client acknowledges that the other internal doors may not be ideal. However at this point of time, does not want to carry out any further alterations. Should the opportunity present itself for the doors to be changed, then this will be considered at that point of time. However, as the doors are effectively temporary in this permanent structure, no physical damage is being caused by existing doors remaining and there is no indication that the previous internal doors were original or more appropriate.

2.22 Also at this meeting, concern was expressed by Mr Sewell regarding the situation of the fireplace hearths being raised above the floor boards. From further conversations with our client, he has confirmed that prior to the replacement of the floor boards, the front room was carpeted. The hearths stood proud above the carpeted floor. The new oak floor boards were installed at the same height and level as the previous floor boards, on top of the existing concrete floor. More importantly, at the time of installation, the stoves had to be issued with the necessary building regulations and fire certificates, to comply with Part J of the Building Regulation 2000: Combustion Appliances. The regulations require the stoves to be placed on a non-combustible board or tile which must lie above a combustible material such as floor boards.

2.23 To carry out the suggested alteration (i.e the hearth to be on the same plane as the floor boards) is likely to result in the works contravening building regulations and would cost a substantial amount of money. This understandably is an area of work which the client does not want to carry out or result him in being in breach of the building regulations. 2.24 The final matter on which concern was expressed was the size and design of the existing roof lights. These roof lights were approved by the authority, under application NP/WED/1183/464. There is therefore no requirement for our client to change the design or size of these roof lights as they were both approved and installed prior to the listing of the building.

Landscape

2.25 The proposed development has no effect on the amenity, the locality or the street scene of the building. The proposed modifications are minor in form and reflect the character of the existing building and will therefore have no additional impact.

Access Issues

2.26 The proposal provides for a level access to the building and all works will be carried out to Part M of the building regulations.

3. SUMMARY

3.1 This application is seeking retrospective consent for the works carried out to the building, along with new internal modifications.

3.2 The development already carried out and the proposed development fully accords with the policies of C9 of the Structure Plan, along with Policies LC6, LC8 of the local plan as well as the most recent policies contained within PPSS.

3.3 The proposals are justified in terms of being both desirable and ensuring the property as modified, is fit for purpose. The retrospective work already carried out and the proposed modifications reflect the character of the existing building and will help to ensure that the building is preserved and enhanced now and for future generations and also provide a viable future for the building as acknowledged by PPSS.

"Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs"

4.2 8 of PPS1 states:-

"Again, where the Development Plan contains relevant policies, applications for planning permission should be determined in line with the plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise".

Planning Policy Statement 5: Planning for the Historic Environment (PPS5)

4.3 This document was published on 23rd March 2010 and replaces the former PPG15 – Planning in the Historic Environment and PPG16 – Archaeology and Planning. The document sets out the Government’s planning policies on the conservation of the historic environment, and seeks to ensure that the contribution with the historic environment makes to our cultural heritage is maintained and enhanced. In particular the country’s heritage assets should be conserved and enjoyed now and for future generations.

4.4 In particular:-

"Wherever possible, heritage assets are put to an appropriate and viable use that is consistent with their conservation".

4.5 Policy HE9 provides guidance on the consideration of planning applications for heritage assets.

PPS7 – Sustainable Development in Rural Areas

Planning Policy Statement 7: Sustainable Development in Rural Areas (PPS7)

4.6 The Government’s objectives for all areas as stated in PPS7 are:

(i) to raise the quality of life in the environment in rural areas through the promotion of:

(ii) thriving, inclusive and sustainable rural communities, ensuring people have decent places to live by improving the quality and sustainability of local environments and neighbourhoods; (iii) sustainable economic growth and diversification;

(iv) good quality, sustainable development that respects and where possible enhances local distinctiveness and the intrinsic qualities of the countryside; and

(v) continued protection of the urban countryside for the benefit of all with the highest level of protection for our most valued landscapes and environmental resources.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN

4.7 The Development Plan consists of the Peak District National Park Authority Structure Plan (1994) and the Peak District National Park Authority Local Plan published in March 2001 (saved policies).

Peak District National Park Authority Structure Plan (1994)

4.8 The Structure Plan sets out the strategic policies. The saved policies which relate to this proposal that have been saved are:-

- GS1: Development in the Peak District National Park Authority;
- C3: Development in Towns and Villages;
- C4: Conservation Areas; and
- C9: Listed Buildings and Other Buildings of Historic or Vernacular Merit.

Peak District National Park Local Plan (Adopted March 2001)

4.9 This document adds details to the strategy and the policies of the Structure Plan. Together with the Structure Plan, the Local Plan provides a policy basis for controlling development in the National Park.

4.10 The following policies are considered relevant to this application:-

- Policy LC4 – Design, Layout and Landscaping;
- Policy LC5 – Conservation Areas;
- Policy LC6 – Listed Buildings.

5. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

5.1 This application seeks retrospective listed building consent for internal works to the property with the exception of the internal porch doors which has yet to be carried out. The work must therefore be judged against the effect the proposals have on the character and structure of this Grade II listed building. 5.2 During 2008/9, the applicant carried out internal works to Gardeners Cottage. At that point it was not realised that listed building consent was required for the internal alterations carried out. This was subsequently brought to the attention of the applicant who then took immediate steps to resolve any concerns.

5.3 The applicant, Mr Purvis and Rawdon Gascoigne, Director of this practice met with John Sewell, Historic Building Architect for the National Park Authority to discuss various proposals to the property in March of this year.

5.4 It was acknowledged that the structural work carried out i.e. removal of staircase, new flooring, new door opening and stud wall required listed building consent.

5.5 Mr Sewell acknowledged that whilst the removal of the staircase was unfortunate it was a 20th Century addition and that it was very difficult to know what the original staircase would have looked like or even whether this was the original location and orientation. Consequently the work was considered to be acceptable.

5.6 Whilst the work carried out has involved the removal of two small areas or original walling (one to create the entrance to the bedroom the other to provide access onto the landing) the amount of material removed is very small and does not cause harm to the character of the building. Again this work was considered acceptable by Mr Sewell.

5.7 At this meeting, discussions also took place with regards to the internal doors, in particular the internal porch doors. Whilst these internal doors were new, the previous doors were also not considered to be original. Mr Sewell expressed concern that the proportions of the glazing panels on the porch doors were wrong and should be changed. Consequently, as part of this application consent is being sought to change the doors from 8 panelled doors to two solid glazed doors, as per the submitted drawing. It was also considered that the glazing panels on the other doors were not in keeping. However, the client at this point in time does not want to change these doors, and they therefore form no part of this application.

5.8 This property has been significantly altered over time and what would have been considered the original building has been altered with permission prior to listing of the building. The external appearance would appear to be of most significance here and there are no proposals to alter that. The proposed scheme will therefore not adversely affect the character of the original building.

6. ACCESS COMPONENT

6.1 The proposed development involves minor modifications to the internal layout of the building. Access in and out of the property will not be affected. 7. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

7.1 Gardeners Cottage is a Grade II listed building which has previously been modified and extended.

7.2 The proposed scheme now seeks to secure retrospective consent for modifications to the internal layout of the building. The modifications carried out respect the character of the listed building.

7.3 In this instance the proposal fully accords with the Policies GS1, C2 and C9 of the Structure Plan, along with Policies LC4, LC6 and LC8 of the Local Plan.

7.4 It is therefore respectfully requested that this application be approved. Land at Gardeners Cottage, Klin Lane, Parwich, Nr Ashbourne, Derbyshire, DE6 1QB for retrospective internal alterations
